Replying to myself, I found this bit in the docs explaining how Tokio decorates the main: > An async fn is used as we want to enter an asynchronous context. However, asynchronous functions must be executed by a runtime. The runtime conta

Can someone explain to a non-rustacean what Tokio introduces that's not part of Rust? It looks like Rust provides the async/await semantics, so I'm guessing this is an event loop and dispatching system?

Well you know what's really tragic: FFOS is a pretty big success. It was forked and became KaiOS, which has decent market-share in India.

Hey sull, appreciate the thoughts- I think that's a pretty good take and I believe/hope you're right that we'll have things ironed out soon

Dat is essentially the old version of Hypercore Protocol (aka "Hyper"). We had to make a set of breaking changes and decided to rebrand. So- if you're looking for a base, use the hyper stuff. The changes included a switch to

I'm glad the dat cli is still working for you. It's on an older protocol codebase and won't be maintained, the hyp cli is meant to replace it going forward. https://github.com/hypercore-protocol/cli/

That's all the old version of the protocol that we keep up for archival EDIT- took down the old explore site with a redirect to avoid future confusion

We started it this month and are at $150/mo, not a bad start and we appreciate the help. We're trying it as a way to bridge us to the next step. I love Beaker but I think it was strategically too long-term. The hyp CLI and uplink

Sure, but I think it can be easier to do. VPNs require some setup so it's not as ad-hoc as you want for sharing files between two offices. The HTTPS server is what many offices do now when they deal with a lot of secure document exchan

We're pretty product-focused. We started with Beaker Browser, then recently have been working on CLI tools for private file sharing [1] and now we're working toward an app with the same goal [2] 1. https://www.patreo

They didn't abandon "code is law." They legislated code to deal with a specific problem that they had a state interest to solve. Blockchains do introduce code as law, but if the code can change then they also introduce legisl

This is my best understanding, I could be wrong. With PoW, we trust that the mining algorithm is going to take X amount of time given Y amount of computation. That arguably removes trust from people and puts it in the properties of tech. Po

The US ran an enormous financial bailout after the pandemic started. This was when individuals got $1200. Substantially more of that money was spent ensuring corporate debt didn’t pop.

I was discussing how to handle economics in light of automation the other day, and at one point we joked that every household should have its own family robots which go to work and bring home a salary. The major question on my mind is, shou

The platforms screwed up by never generalizing. If they wanted to be neutral parties, they needed to aggressively API-ify each part of the social media stack and effectively become the AWS for social applications. This would have meant dele

Some devs do lack empathy for users, but that's a trope with lots of professions. I think it's more... 1. UX is a skill you need to train separately from the rest of your engineering skillset and not everybody does. I strongly rec

Strongly behind this for the merits of the technology which are just unquestionably better results for the costs and risks. I’d also really favor making nuclear energy an era-defining technology, like IT was for the 80s-20s. I think it’s wi

I think you said it pretty well, but I'll re-iterate some of your second point. The human element defies any solution other than social coordination such as a specs registry or org. At some point the software needs to understand each o

As I was reading, I was reminded of schema-migration definitions which some ORMs/DB tools give you (I currently use Knexjs). There might be a useful intuitive correlation there [edit: I see jka and the post already pointed that out]. O

I think this is an “input format” vs “serialization format” issue. NestedText is meant for user input so it’s focusing more on the UX of the syntax. In that case, having to parse strings is a reasonable task for developers to take on

I completely agree with the author that WCs fail to push more behaviors into HTML. As she describes, you really want to be able to import the WC's script and then have new useful HTML tags. I use LitElement pretty extensively, which is
